PRIORITY [0001] This application claims priority to an application entitled "Method for Processing Multimedia Broadcasting Data by Wireless Terminal While Driving Vehicle" filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on Oct. 26, 2005 and assigned Ser. No. 2005-101403, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] 1. Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates to a method of processing digital broadcasting data in a portable terminal with a navigation function, and in particular, to a method of processing digital broadcasting data in a portable terminal with a navigation function while in a moving vehicle. [0004] 2. Description of the Related Art [0005] Global Positioning Systems (GPSs) were originally used by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) for military purposes such as to determine an object's physical position and for guiding munitions to their intended target(s). However, due to the economic utility and usefulness, the use of GPS systems has been rapidly extended to non-military use (i.e., civilian use). Today, civilian GPS systems are commercially available and widely used. In particular, a navigation system indicates the current position, the moving velocity, the proceeding direction, and the distance and optimal path to the desired goal from the present position of a moving body on a geographical information system (GIS) map displayed on a display screen, using GPS receiving information. In addition, the GPS function is applied to various systems beyond navigation systems so as to provide more efficient services. For example, mobile terminals may use a GPS system to identify a caller's location in an emergency. [0006] Digital broadcasting means a broadcasting service for providing high definition video and audio, and higher grade services and can in substitute analog broadcasting. Recently, there has been a growing interest in digital broadcasting, which enable the watching of digital broadcasting even during movement, due to the development of digital broadcasting and mobile communication technologies. In particular, there has been a growing interest in digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) service using a portable terminal. DMB services make it possible to view various multimedia broadcasting with multiple channels through a personal portable receiver or a vehicle receiver, which is equipped with a non-directional antenna. [0007] However, if the DMB service is viewed through a personal portable receiver or a vehicle receiver, which is equipped with a non-directional antenna in a vehicle while being driven, that is, if a user is in a moving vehicle (e.g., a vehicle, boat, plane, train, bus, elevator, etc.) and watches the DMB service while driving a vehicle, an accident may occur due to the user's carelessness. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0008] Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problem occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method of processing digital broadcasting data when a user watches a DMB service while driving a vehicle. [0009] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, there is provided a method of processing multimedia broadcasting in a portable terminal with a navigation module, while driving a vehicle, including steps of: proceeding to a vehicle driving mode if the vehicle is recognized as being driven when the multimedia broadcasting data is outputted; confirming at least one vehicle driving function which is set for the vehicle driving mode in the vehicle driving mode and driving navigation module and then acquiring vehicle driving information; and reflecting the acquired vehicle driving information in the vehicle driving function and then outputting the multimedia broadcasting data after applying the vehicle driving function to the multimedia broadcasting data. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS [0010] The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: [0011] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a system for providing a digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) service; [0012] FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a portable terminal including a navigation module, wherein the portable terminal can be also used for receiving digital broadcasting, according to an embodiment of the present invention; [0013] FIGS. 3A and 3B are flowcharts illustrating a method for setting a DMB vehicle mode according to an embodiment of the present invention; [0014] FIGS. 4A, 4B and 4C are flowcharts illustrating a method for executing a DMB vehicle mode according to an embodiment of the present invention; and [0015] FIGS. 5A and 5B illustrate various display screens which can be outputted while the DMB vehicle mode is being executed according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS [0016] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear. In addition, terminologies used herein are selected in consideration of functions in the present invention, which may be different from those used by the persons ordinarily skilled in the art, and the definitions of the terminologies shall be determined on the basis of the contents generally described in the specification. The term, "multimedia broadcasting data" used herein includes "digital multimedia data" and "analogue broadcasting data" unless it is otherwise specifically defined. The DMB service includes a satellite DMB service and a terrestrial DMB service. The following description will be made in terms of the satellite DMB service. However, it will be apparent that the method of processing a multimedia broadcasting service to be described later is also applicable to an terrestrial DMB service and to analog broadcasting service, beyond the DMB service to be described below. [0017] FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating the configuration of a system for providing a DMB service. The system for executing a DMB service includes a data delivery center 1, a satellite 2, and receivers (for example, a portable terminal 3, a vehicle receiver 4, and a home receiver 5, etc). [0018] The data delivery center I transmits DMB data (for example, image, voice, and data signals) to the satellite 2 after compressing and modulating the DMB data. [0019] The satellite 2 receives, amplifies, and frequency-converts the signals transmitted from the data delivery center I and retransmits the amplified signals to the Earth.
